149. Sinners Are Coming Home

1 O brother, have you heard the story?
O brother, have you heard the story?
O let us all give God the glory,
For sinners are coming home.

Chorus:
Then shout, shout the good news,
Shout, shout the good news;
Then shout, shout the good news,
For sinners are coming home.

2 O sing, for Jesus now rejoices
O sing, for Jesus now rejoices
And heaven rings with happy voices,
For sinners are coming home. [Chorus]

3 The golden harps are sweetly sounding,
The golden harps are sweetly sounding,
And Christian hearts with joy are bounding,
For sinners are coming home. [Chorus]

4 Oh, don’t you hear the angels singing?
Oh, don’t you hear the angels singing?
While with the news they’re upward winging,
For sinners are coming home. [Chorus]
